My brother recently came back from a 6-month trip to Africa and after returning he accidentally formatted the Memory Card on his camera, containing all his photos. He isn't very technologically minded... Anyways he's really upset and desperately wants to know if there's a way to recover the data. I know in crime shows how they can find traces of data on hard drives after they have been formatted or severely damaged, and wondered if there was any possibility of recovering ANY of the data he has lost as it would mean an enormous amount to him. I've included the details of his camera and memory card below.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions or advice.

Umm, so I can sugar coat the news a little bit, any idea of how I would go about learning how to get some of the photos out of the on-board memory as you suggested? Although I'm not a 'hacker', I'm pretty confident I could learn how to hack into a video camera if I had some initial direction as to how to get started.
to get the photos stored on the camera (if there is any)just take out the memory card and turn the camera back on, just search the camera as you would do with a memory card innit
with a little luck he might have some there, but there wont be many, like i said....usually the on board memory you get is frankly...... shite!
